Rumors and Notes

  • The Vaults of Mola the Demonic, about a week's journey from Imladril, are rumoured to contain wealth and relics from the Time of Giants.
    • Mola was a Prefect of the Twelfth Sub-Domain, and approved of several transfers of wealth that can be found on post 273 of the IC thread.
    • Also, the word 'sapphire' was written all over one of the walls
    • We never explored the second level after Millenium stole our gold and the mule Integument.
  • A farmstead to the west lies near to a mysterious (and recently uncovered) ruin known as the Hive of Ulfang the Black. This lair is rumored to contain dwarves, goblinoids, and undead. Some say Ulfang was an evil and rich bandit who lived several generations back.
  • Many locals say that Lord Huw is fond of adventurers, and that neophyte adventurers might be prudent to seek him out if they are ever in need of assistance. A few more cynical voices say that Lord Huw saves much money by keeping only a small standing guard, and letting roving adventurers perform (gratis!) most of the work of pacifying the land in exchange for the mere hope of ancient treasures kept beneath the good earth's green surface.
  • Men speak of a trading post to the east, near the mountains, beyond which lie unconquered and inhospitable lands filled with goblins, orcs, and their inimical ilk.
  • A shady character with greasy hair and a violet hat offers the adventuring company a loan of five hundred gold pieces. He has with him a complex and obfuscating series of documents. He also mentions that he has rental property available.
    • Arucg is the only surviving member from the time when this offer was made.
  • Ten days to the north, beyond the edge of Huw the Bard's domain, there are many rough, rocky hills. Under some of these hills dwell fearsome trolls. Although most sane men would shudder to fight such monsters, trolls are said to be hoarders of much coinage and other useful material. Some trolls are even said to control access to depots of weapons from the elder days.
  • Millenium the betrayer ran to the north with the PCs treasure and the mule Integument, after murdering the other hirelings. His father, Hawk, has a farm near Imladril. Millenium may have been heading to his uncle Bretan's place, as Bretan is an eccentric trapper and hunter at home with the wild. Bretan's dwelling is said to be at the base of a large tree, several days north of Lord Huw's lands.
    • Arucg is the only member who remember's Millenium's treachery, although the others were told of it.
  • There are rumours of wererats or werewolves -- stories differ as to which it is -- marauding around Lord Huw's lands. Prices for wolfsbane have skyrocketed.
    • Only Arucg, and perhaps Lundun Duam's retainer Gondwine, know that the lycanthropy rumours were invented by Eldric the Inexplicable to slander Millenium.
  • The Hive of Ulfang the Black has been buried during the course of a mysterious and highly localized earthquake.
  • A stooped, semi-senescent philosopher opines that dungeons are pockets of raw Chaos which float up to the earth's surface like pockets or bubbles of evil, expelled outwards gradually since the Lawful substance of the earth repels them. Sometimes, he declares, their very Chaotic nature becomes so strong that they simply cease to be, as they deviate so far from perfect Order and Law that their existence (at least in this dimension) becomes so bizarre and extra-terrene as to preclude the possibility of mere continued being.
  • Three days to the east of Imladris, there is apparently some sort of subterranean complex known as The Dark Delve of Sorrows. Little more than the name reaches the ears of the party members.
  • Four days to the northwest, there is said to be underearth complex known as The Hive of Gothmog of Udun. It is said to be filled with deadly perils and glittering treasures.
    • A foul otyugh lives near the entrance. It is responsible for the slaying of Eldric, Zara, Tharbeon, Aethelred and Lundun. No doubt their treasures remain with them.

This dungeon is largely unexplored.

  • Seven days to the southwest, right along the edges of Lord Huw's rule, there lies another dungeon. It is known as the Lost Temple of Alancas. A barbarian was said to be in town when this rumour was first heard, blubbering like a babe because his heirloom sword had rusted away to nothingness after he fought with a strange monster in this fearful fane.
  • Weeks to the north of Lord Huw's lands, there have been reported sightings of a very young dragon. Perhaps it is looking to establish a lair. Perhaps it is merely passing through the area.
  • In the mountains to the east, there is talk of a balrog.

Hereafter the party is joined by Hune, Eadwyn, Delton, and Xergiok

  • A small and forgotten ruined temple, known as the Dark Cyst of Terror, is said to have all the treasure a man can carry, and is located two days away to the southeast.
    • Parts of the first level have not yet been explored, and is patrolled by goblins, lizard-men and morlocks. Thuar also mentioned orcs, hobgoblins, halflings and spiders.
    • The second level is largely unexplored, but is said to have many riches.
    • Werewolves, wights, medusae, gnolls, and giant frogs inhabit the deeper levels.
    • A lizard man envoy cruelly slew Magar at the entrance of this delve in a vicious bout of pugilism
  • The Cyst of Nino is five days journey west-south-west from Imladril.
  • Undercrypt of Bacha the Unearthly, four days south-southeast.
  • The Sepulcher of Profane Death lies six days west-northwest of Imladril.

Hereafter the party is joined by Barthos

  • A ruin known as the Subterranean Hovel of the Vile Coyote is located seven days due east.
